I talked with Kimball Booth recently and he said he would be glad to look up
information. It's like a hobby with him and gives him something to do. I know
Charles Gates is always in courthouse looking up information also The library
is a good source of information. They are really building up a good
genealogical section. Thjey might help you find a person to do your work.

If you have a LDS Family History Center close you can rent a film for
3.25... All of the Nicholas Co records are on film..... or at least most
all...

Subject: [KYNICHOL] Nicholas County Researcher(s)?
Does anyone know of a good researcher or researchers in Nicholas County that
I could contact? I've found out that there are a couple of wills that I
would like to get copies of and I'd also like to get land information. Any
recommendations?
Thanks.

"Flight 1234," the control tower advised, "turn right 45 degrees for noise
abatement." "Roger," the pilot responded, "but we're at 35,000 feet. How
much noise can we make up here?" "Sir," the radar man replied, "have you
ever heard the noise a 727 makes when it hits a 747?"

"No God-No Peace. Know God-Know Peace."
"Free Trip to heaven. Details Inside!"
"Try our Sundays. They are better than Baskin-Robbins."
"Searching for a new look? Have your faith lifted here!"
An ad for St.Joseph's Episcopal Church has a picture of two hands holding
stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments are inscribed and a headline
that reads, "For fast, fast, fast relief, take two tablets."
When the restaurant next to the Lutheran Church put out a big sign with red
letters that said, "Open Sundays," the church reciprocated with its own
message: "We are open on Sundays, too."
"Have trouble sleeping? We have sermons-come hear one!"
"A singing group called "The Resurrection" was scheduled to sing at a
church. When a big snowstorm postponed the performance, the pastor fixed the
outside sign to read, "The Resurrection is postponed."
"People are like tea bags-you have to put them in hot water before you know
how strong they are."
"God so loved the world that He did not send a committee."
"Come in and pray today. Beat the Christmas rush!"
"When down in the mouth, remember Jonah. He came out all right."
"Sign broken. Message inside this Sunday."
"Fight truth decay-study the Bible daily."
"How will you spend eternity-Smoking or Non-smoking?"
"Dusty Bibles lead to Dirty Lives":
"Come work for the Lord. The work is hard, the hours are long and the pay
is low. But the retirement benefits are out of this world."
"It is unlikely there'll be a reduction in the wages of sin."
"Do not wait for the hearse to take you to church."
"If you're headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns."
"If you don't like the way you were born, try being born again."

insurance soon."

>From what you will read below, I have information regarding a John Harges or
Hargis who was in Nicholas County in the 1820s. Because he supposedly saw
action in military pusuirts over an 18 year period and obtained a
Revolutionary War pension, I thought there might be some trace of him in the
county. I would certainly appreciate any comments you might have. I've hit
the brick wall and would very much like to know more about John.
When, in 1822, John Harges appeared before circuit court in Nicholas County,
Kentucky, he stated that his wife, Catey, was 85 years old and infirm.
Referring to himself as a "farmer but [with] neither land nor horse," who
owed three men $150, and had personal property valued at $28.05, John stated
that he and his wife had "lived on the bounty of our neibourghs, having no
children to assist us." Following his application for a Rev. War pension,
John received a pension and was still alive and living in the county in 1835.
Since he does not appear on pension rolls in 1840, he apparently died, in
his 80s, in the intervening years.
According to a biographical entry in an Iowa source, "When a young man he
[John Hargis] went to Kentucky with the noted Daniel Boone, and for many
years shared with him the dangers and privations of life on the frontier. He
was in many an Indian fight and had many thrilling adventures and narrow
escapes."
Any help or comments are greatly appreciated.

A couple had been married for 25 years and also celebrated their 60th
birthdays. During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that because
they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them
one wish each.
The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy
waved her and boom! She had the tickets in her hand. Next, it was the
husband's. He paused for a moment, then said shyly, "Well, I'd like to have
a woman 30 years younger than me." The fairy picked up her wand and
boom! He was 90.

To chat:
1. Go to http://huntsville.about.com/mpchat.htm
2. Click onto "log onto chat"
3. Enter a nickname (do NOT put a password)
4. Scroll down to "ok, connect!"--click it.
5. Wait for screen to clear and you're in the chat room.
Top Hints to Successful Chatting:
1. Mark your calendar and day-timers with the time of the chats you don't
want to miss.
2. Bookmark the URL of the chats: http://huntsville.about.com/mpchat.htm
3. Once you're in the chat, to get rid of ads: click the "float" button in
the upper right hand side. Then enlarge that window for full view.
4. To enlarge your font size, type: *chat fontsize 16
5. Come on time--early even for the bigger chats. Stay for the whole
chat so you don't miss YOUR cousins.
6. Come prepared: bring your genealogy files/printouts of tree/resource
books/CD's/maps.
7. Come not only to find your cousins, but to help others!
8. If you get "bumped off" during chat--try to log back on. You may have
to enter a different nickname. Please be patience, we're using computers!
9. Greet people when you enter the room; say "good-bye" when
you have to leave. Allow time for people to respond BEFORE you go--they may
have a special message or info for you.
10. If you have webtv, you will not be able to log onto the chat. I would
suggest that you try to go to a friend's, neighbor's, or the library and use
the computer there to log on......or hey, used computers are cheap now!
11. If you come to the chat room and it's empty, you can read email and
STILL not miss people. Turn the SOUND on so that a "beep" sounds when
someone else comes into the room. The commands for sounds are:
......beep enter on........AND: ......beep leave on
You will hear a bubble sound when someone comes in (delayed just a few
minutes) and a horn when someone leaves.
12. To post your messages: enter text in the white space at the bottom of
the screen where it says, "TYPE HERE".....then hit the ENTER key on your
computer keyboard to send the message.
